Although the job of Vice President is typically viewed as a nothing job (who remembers the name of the VP?), in the case of Joe Biden who is obviously and visibly mentally impaired, the issue of VP is suddenly of paramount importance. The probability of Biden's running mate becoming president is quite high.
It's no secret that Joe Biden has always had presidential aspirations. He's run for president 3 times and there can be no doubt that he promised his wife Jill that she would become FLOTUS. Biden scandals involving plagiarism have followed him and killed his 1988 bid for the presidency. Other scandals involving racially insensitive statements are emerging as a huge issue. Creepy Joe is a notorious loose cannon.
As a powerful player on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee as its Chairman or ranking minority member, Biden believed time would erase past scandals and his POTUS aspirations again surfaced in his 2008 bid for the presidency.
When Obama became a Senator in January, 2005, he got on the prestigious Senate Foreign Relations Committee, something that typically doesn't happen to newly elected senators. Biden chaired the Committee and became Obama's mentor and foreign policy advisor. There is no doubt that Biden viewed Obama as a newbie and himself the senior statesman who earned a crack at the presidency. But Hillary Clinton and Obama quickly took over that nominating process, leaving Biden in the dust. After winning the 2008 slugfest with Clinton, Obama made Biden his running mate. There is no doubt that Joe and Jill felt shafted and denied something they believed they earned and deserved. But fate is what it is.
Biden's mental decline has been clearly apparent to all. Why would the 77 year old Biden consider another POTUS run? More than anybody, his wife Jill was fully aware of his mental decline. Was Jill the driving force that pushed Joe to run? She's even been accused of elder abuse for using her husband to achieve one lifelong goal...occupying the WH.
Shame on Jill Biden for Allowing This Abuse of Her Husband to Continue
We all know that there is something mentally wrong with former VP and presumptive DNC pick for president Joe Biden. What makes this disturbing, at least for me, is that no one around him seems to be want to stop the madness. Specifically, it’s horrifying that his wife looks like she’s in on it. I feel like the DNC is telling an old circus monkey far past its prime and in desperate need of retirement that it still has to perform center stage every night.
Is Jill Biden Running For President? Jill Delivers Joe’s 2020 Campaign Message as He Stands Next to Her Blinking (VIDEO)
I believe it's clear that Jill has waited a very long time to occupy the WH and if Joe is elected and inaugurated, she isn't likely to voluntarily vacate the White House despite massive speculation that Joe Biden plans to resign the presidency for medical reasons and turn the country over to his VP IF elected.
FLOTUS running the presidency isn't without precedent in US history. Woodrow Wilson reportedly suffered mini strokes and a major stroke that incapacitated him in October, 1919. First Lady Edith Wilson literally ran the country and pretty much kept everybody away from President Wilson. Wilson's term ended in March, 2021.
When a secret president ran the country
Protective of both her husband’s reputation and power, Edith shielded Woodrow from interlopers and embarked on a bedside government that essentially excluded Wilson’s staff, the Cabinet and the Congress....
Over the last century, historians have continued to dig into the proceedings of the Wilson administration and it has become clear that Edith Wilson acted as much more than a mere “steward.” She was, essentially, the nation’s chief executive until her husband’s second term concluded in March of 1921. Nearly three years later, Woodrow Wilson died in his Washington, D.C., home..
If Biden defeats Trump, Jill Biden only has to keep Joe alive enough to look somewhat alive even if he is mentally and/or physically incapacitated. It is already widely speculated that Joe is on drugs for dementia.
All of this brings us to the next big point. Nancy Pelosi is yapping to the media about her bill to deal with an incapacitated president by invoking the 25th Amendment (deals with succession in case the president is unfit to serve). Pelosi seeks to create a congressional commission to decide whether or not the president is fit to serve. The right wing media immediate went nuts and accused the Dems of Impeachment 2.0. No, Pelosi's actions aren't about Trump. They are about Biden. Trump doesn't even believe that Pelosi is targeting him but is specifically targeting Biden. Trump tweeted:
Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump · Crazy Nancy Pelosi is looking at the 25th Amendment in order to replace Joe Biden with Kamala Harris. The Dems want that to happen fast because Sleepy Joe is out of it!!!
Yeah, it's all getting very interesting. One thing is certain. If Jill achieves her lifelong ambition to occupy the WH as FLOTUS, dislodging her won't be easy. Jill is probably envisioning a joint presidency of sorts with Kamala Harris as her puppet. Pelosi has other ideas and Kamala Harris isn't likely to sit back and play second fiddle while Jill calls the shots. If Joe wins in a few weeks, this whole shit show is about Jill, Nancy and Kamala. And poor Hillary, she is once again irrelevant.
I'm just hoping and praying that Trump wins and wins big.
Excellent points, as always Judy.
ReplyDeleteWell, Trump didn't "drain the swamp" as he promised. If anything he added even more gators and vipers to it. Almost all of his bureaucratic appointments were bona fide Deep Staters. Loss of a second term is liable to be the cost of that mistake. Those swamp-gators are pissed at being fed a Nationalist (Trump) instead of their standard diet of Globalist (pretty much every other federal-level politician) over the past four years and they'll pull out ALL of the stops to win this time. No criminal election/voting fraud will be too severe this time. They won't hold back and make the mistakes of arrogant Hillary.
As much as I dislike Trump, I still prefer him to a Leftist/Globalist president, regardless who that may be. And I do agree that there's something underhanded afoot here with regards to Biden. He's WAY too far gone to be expected to stand on his own as POTUS from Day One (or even prior to the election). There's definitely something going on "behind the scenes" and it may well be a power-grab from several different players. I just hope that Trump can, as you mention, garner enough backing from John & Jane Q. to overwhelm the massive fraud about to occur.
Regardless of who wins though, I don't see the U.S. remaining cohesive after this next election. Breaking apart would be a GOOD thing in my book, but both sides of the aisle are deeply embedded in the collectivist mindset, so I don't see that happening without a fight, sadly. They're ALL "unionists" in other words.
PS: It's great to see your commentary once again my friend. We've missed you!!! I hope this finds you well? :o)
Great article, and I didn't see that one coming. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteOne typo, however: "Wilson's term ended in March, 2021." Wilson's term actually ended on March 4, 1921.
